Facebook Fuss Over Feeding Of Felines In Houma

HOUMA, La. (AP) — A woman who put up a sign warning people not to feed the dozens of stray cats outside the spa she runs in Houma says she's having to defend herself against calls for a boycott of her business.

That's because an animal advocate complained about the sign on an online social networking site, according to The Courier newspaper in Houma.

The Houma animal advocate, Gisele Landry, said she didn't think her Facebook post about the sign would get so much attention.

Meanwhile, business owner Allie Authement, says she has a good reason for the sign: leftover cat food is littering her parking lot and someone recently slipped on wet cat food placed there by some unknown animal lover.
